Yesterday I had one of those really great wine experiences; a wine I have not given a great deal of thought to or tasted in a long time gives a great deal of pleasure. Several colleagues and I were having lunch at a local brick oven pizzeria and decided on a bottle of Caceres Rose 2010 to go with our Prosciutto and basil pizza, what a combo! If you are not following the weather on the East Coast its really, really hot outside! The chilled Rose was perfect, great fruit, strawberry and bright cherry notes, and enough acidity to make it a good food wine. The wine is a blend, 85% Tempranillo and 15 % Garnacha, and aged entirely in stainless steel, no oak to impede all the fresh fruit flavors. All in all a terrific choice for a summer wine!
